Overall, the game was more intense and with few clear chances. In the beginning, goalkeeper Rafael made a great save from the debutant Alan Benítez.
However, for most of the match, Internacional was dominated by São Paulo, who opened the scoring at the end of the first half.
After a corner kick, Arboleda jumped higher than everyone else to head the ball into the net.
After the break, São Paulo had chances to increase their lead with Luciano and André Silva, but the attackers missed their shots.
With authority, São Paulo increased their lead when Luciano deflected the ball with his heel in the penalty area, and Ferraresi assisted Bobadilla to score in the corner of Rochet's goal.
In the final minutes, Bruno Tabata scored a penalty with perfection, displacing Rafael, to add more excitement to the game.
At the end of the match, a small brawl formed, with coach Roger Machado going to "confront" Cédric Soares, from São Paulo, but the "let it go" people acted quickly.🚦 How it stands

📹 Call me up now! Neymar sends message to Ancelotti: I'm available
After scoring two goals in Santos' 3-1 victory over Juventude on Monday (4th), Neymar spoke about a possible return to the Brazilian National Team. After all, members of Carlo Ancelotti's coaching staff were present at MorumBIS to follow Neymar's recovery, as he played five consecutive games, something that hadn't happened since 2022. "Happy to score two goals, to win again, which is the most important thing, and I think it's only going to get better for our team. Obviously, we made many mistakes today that we can't make, but we need to work to improve every day." "Everyone knows my football. I'm available. Regardless of anything, I'm an athlete, I still feel good, so it's up to them." Since October 2023, when he suffered a severe left knee injury, requiring surgery and sidelining him from the field for a year, Neymar hasn't played for the Brazilian National Team. In 17 games in the 2025 season for Santos, Neymar has six goals and three assists. Brazil concludes its participation in the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers in September, with matches against Chile on the 4th at Maracanã, and against Bolivia on the 9th, away from home. In third place with 25 points, the Brazilian National Team is already guaranteed a spot in the 2026 World Cup in the United States, Mexico, and Canada, as they can no longer be caught by Venezuela, which is in seventh place with 18 points.
